I was unprepared for the induction smelter change that removed the pulverized dust and rich slag combination. Since I knew I could always just take care of it later if I ran low on gold (or whatever), I was just dropping the rich slag into a barrel and not worrying about it.
Now I've got a barrel full of slag and have to figure out how to use it inline in my system so it doesn't go to waste any longer.
So I've got a fairly typical, I assume, setup for running multiple induction smelters. Ore feeds into relays attached to the bottom of the smelters. Immediately behind the smelters are the sand making duo, making a neat little 2x2x1 block of joy. I wanted to modify one of those smelters to receive slag tonight, so I ripped off the sand machines and started attaching pipes and gates. And there-in lies my question.
I attached a pipe to the purple input and put a gate on it, cycling through the various conditionals until I found 'space in inventory'. I had primed the smelter with 1 rich slag already in the purple/blue slot. My problem is that space in inventory ended up false. If I took out the slag, it was true. There should have been room for 63 more items, right?
I assume that I'm basically out of luck using gates for this, and my track record with redpower hasn't been the greatest, so I'm asking for help.
How are you filtering rich slag back into your machines, and/or how would you approach the setup I described?
